A Conservative candidate in next month’s local elections has been suspended from the party after tweeting an image that apparently equated trans, intersex and people of colour with Nazis.

Alexander Bramham, who was standing as a Tory in Manchester, tweeted a doctored version of the Dad’s Army titles showing the Nazis’ progression through Europe, with the Nazi flags replaced with the flags for trans and intersex people and people of colour.

Conservative Party HQ today told openDemocracy that Bramham had been suspended, but could not give any further information.
